     Ar stands for optionally substituted phenyl or for optionally substituted naphthyl, 
     R 1  stands for hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted alkinyl, optionally substituted aralkyl, cycloalkyl or optionally substituted heteroarylalkyl, 
     R 2  stands for alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl or alkenyl,

     R 3  and R 4  together stand for ethane-1,2-diyl, and addition products thereof with acids and metal salts. Intermediates of the formulas ##STR2## in which R 6  stands for alkyl having more than one carbon atom, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl or alkenyl, are also new.

The present invention relates to new substituted triazolylmethylcarbinols, several processes for their preparation and their use as fungicides.

It has already been disclosed that certain triazolylmethylcarbinols exhibit fungicidal properties (cf. EP-OS (European Published Specification) No. 0,040,345). Thus, for example, it is possible to employ 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-methyl-3-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl-methyl)-pentan-3-ol for combating fungi. However, the action of this substance is not always satisfactory, above all when it is used at low application rates.

New substituted triazolylmethylcarbinols of the formula ##STR3## in which

n stands for the numbers 0 or 1,

Ar stands for optionally substituted phenyl or for optionally substituted naphthyl,

R¹ stands for hydrogen, optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted alkinyl, optionally substituted aralkyl, cycloalkyl or optionally substituted heteroarylalkyl,

R² stands for alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl or alkenyl,

R³ stands for methyl and

R⁴ stands for methyl or

R³ and R⁴ together stand for ethane-1,2-diyl, and their acid addition salts and metal salt complexes have now been found.

The new substituted triazolylmethylcarbinols of the formula (I) possess an asymmetrically substituted carbon atom and can therefore be obtained in the two optical isomer forms. The invention relates both to the isomer mixtures and to the individual isomers.

Furthermore, it has been found that the new substituted triazolylmethylcarbinols of the formula (I) and their acid addition salts and metal salt complexes are obtained

(a) when triazolyl methyl ketones of the formula ##STR4## in which

n, Ar, R³ and R⁴ have the abovementioned meanings, are reacted with halogen compounds of the formula

    R.sup.2 - X                                                (III)

in which

R² has the abovementioned meaning and

X stands for halogen, in the presence of aluminum and if appropriate with the use of ultrasound and/or in the presence of aluminum activators in the presence of a diluent, and the product is then reacted with compounds of the formula

    R.sup.1 - Y                                                (IV)

in which

R¹ has the abovementioned meaning and

Y stands for halogen, in the presence of an inert diluent, or

(b) when oxiranes of the formula ##STR5## in which

n, Ar, R², R³ and R⁴ have the abovementioned meanings, are reacted with 1,2,4-triazole of the formula ##STR6## if appropriate in the presence of an acid acceptor and if appropriate in the presence of a free-radical initiator and also if appropriate in the presence of a diluent, and if appropriate the resulting compounds of the formula ##STR7## in which

Ar, R², R³, R⁴ and n have the abovementioned meanings, are reacted with compounds of the formula

    R.sup.5 - Y                                                (IVa)

in which

Y has the abovementioned meaning and

R⁵ stands for optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted alkinyl, optionally substituted aralkyl, cycloalkyl or optionally substituted heteroarylalkyl, in the presence of a base and if appropriate in the presence of a diluent, and in which, if desired, an acid or a metal salt is then subjected to an addition reaction with the compounds of the formula (I).

Finally, it has been found that the new substituted triazolylmethylcarbinols of the formula (I) and also their acid addition salts and metal salt complexes are distinguished by very good fungicidal properties.

Surprisingly, the substituted triazolylmethylcarbinols of the formula (I) according to the invention and also their acid addition salts and metal salt complexes show a considerably more powerful fungicidal action than 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-methyl-3-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl-methyl)pentan-3-ol, which is known and is a structurally similar active compound of the same type of action.

The compounds of the formula (IV) are known chemicals for organic synthesis.

Process (a) according to the invention is carried out in the presence of aluminium and if appropriate in the presence of substances which are suitable for activating aluminium. In particular, such substances are halogens or metal halides, for example bromine, iodine, aluminum chloride or aluminum bromide, mercury(II) chloride, copper(II) chloride and silver(I) chloride.

Process (a) according to the invention is preferably carried out using diluents. Suitable diluents in this process are virtually all inert organic solvents. Aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, such as pentane, hexane, heptane, cyclohexane, petroleum ether, benzine, ligroin, benzene, toluene and xylene, ethers, such as diethyl ether, dibutyl ether, glycol dimethyl ether, diglycol dimethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane, esters, such as methyl acetate and ethyl acetate, nitriles, such as, for example, acetonitrile and propionitrile, amides, such as, for example, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide and N-methyl-pyrrolidone, and also dimethyl sulphoxide, tetramethylenesulphone and hexamethylphosphoric triamide can preferably be used.

When carrying out process (a) according to the invention, the reaction temperatures can be varied within a relatively wide range. In general, the process is carried out at temperatures between -50° C. and +150° C., preferably at temperatures between -30° C. and +100° C.

In general, process (a) according to the invention is carried out under atmospheric pressure. However, it is also possible to carry out the process under increased or reduced pressure.

For carrying out process (a) according to the invention, between 1 and 3 moles, preferably between 1.5 and 2.5 moles, of halogen compound of the formula (III) and between 1 and 3 moles, preferably between 1.5 and 2.5 moles, of aluminum, if appropriate as a mixture with the aluminium activator, are generally employed, and also between 1 and 20 moles, preferably between 1 and 10 moles of a compound of the formula (IV) are employed per 1 mole of triazolyl methyl ketone of the formula (II).

In general, a procedure is followed in which, if appropriate, the aluminum is initially treated with one or more substances suitable for activating aluminum, preferably in an ultrasonic bath and using a diluent, then reacted with a halogen compound of the formula (III), and subsequently reacted with a triazolyl methyl ketone of the formula (II) and finally with a compound of the formula (IV).

In the event that the compounds of the formula (IV) are hydrogen halides, they can in a way also be reacted in the course of working up, using aqueous solutions thereof, such as, for example, hydrochloric acid.

Working up can be carried out by customary methods. For example, the reaction mixture is diluted with water or with an aqueous acid, and, if desired, the major part of the organic solvent is distilled off, if desired, the pH is rendered weakly alkaline with a base, such as, for example, ammonia, if desired, the mixture is diluted with water and filtered, if appropriate with suction, after a virtually water-immiscible organic solvent, such as, for example ethyl acetate, has been added. The organic phase of the filtrate is separated off, washed with water, treated with a drying agent, such as, for example, sodium sulphate, and filtered. The solvent is distilled off from the filtrate under a waterpump vacuum, and, if appropriate, the crude product which is obtained as the residue is purified by customary methods, for example by means of column chromatography.

Formula (V) provides a general definition of the oxiranes to be used as starting substances in process (b) according to the invention.

PREPARATION EXAMPLES Example 1 ##STR1057##

[Process (a)]

A suspension of 2.7 g (0.1 mol) of granular aluminum, one crystal of iodine and a spatula tipful of mercury(II) chloride in 20 ml of absolute tetrahydrofuran is left to stand overnight under argon. A few drops of a solution of 12.1 g (0.1 mol) of allyl bromide in 20 ml of absolute tetrahydrofuran are added, and the mixture is warmed in an ultrasonic bath (model: Bransonic 12 manufactured by Branson, Shelton; CT, USA). The reaction starts at 50° C., and the remaining amount of allyl bromide is added dropwise with stirring. The mixture is then cooled to -20° C., and a solution of 13.9 g (0.05 mol) of 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-3,3-dimethyl-1-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-2-butanone in 100 ml of absolute tetrahydrofuran is added dropwise with stirring. The reaction mixture is then stirred for 1 hour at 0° C. and for 15 hours at 20° C., 100 ml of 3 N hydrochloric acid are then carefully added, and the mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure.

In the aqueous residue, a pH of 10 is adjusted using aqueous ammonia, the mixture is then diluted with water, ethyl acetate is then added, and filtration is carried out under reduced pressure. The residue remaining on the suction filter is washed with ethyl acetate, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated. Following purification of the product by column chromatography (silica gel; methylene chloride/ethyl acetate =1:1), 11.5 g (72% of theory) of 6-(4-chlorophenyl)-5,5-dimethyl-4-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl-methyl)-1-hexen-4-ol of melting point 97°-98° C. are obtained.

EXAMPLE 2 ##STR1058##

[Process (b)]

A solution of 17 g (0.07 mol) of 2-[1,1-dimethyl-2-(4-chlorophenyl)]-ethyl-2-ethyl-oxirane, 6.9 g (0.1 mol) of 1,2,4-triazole, 0.7 g (0.0175 mol) of sodium hydroxide, 0.7 ml of water and a spatula tipful of α,α'-azoisobutyronitrile in 100 ml of dimethylformamide is heated at 120° C. for 15 hours. The mixture is then cooled to room temperature and evaporated by stripping off the solvent under reduced pressure, the residue remaining is dissolved in dichloromethane, the mixture is washed twice with water, the organic phase is dried over sodium sulphate, and the solvent is removed under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by column chromatography (silica gel; dichloromethane:ethyl acetate=1:1).

In this manner, 8.5 g (39% of theory) of 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-3-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl-methyl)-pentan-3-ol of melting point 124°-125° C. are obtained.

Preparation of Starting substances of the formula (V): Example (V-1) ##STR1101##

7 8 ml (0.125 mol) of iodomethane are added dropwise to a cooled solution of 10.7 ml (0.13 mol) of dimethyl sulphide in 40 ml of absolute tetrahydrofuran and 80 ml of absolute dimethyl sulphoxide. The mixture is stirred for 16 hours at room temperature (20° C.). A solution of 20.6 g (0.09 mol) of 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-3pentanone in 100 ml of absolute toluene is added with stirring. The reaction mixture is then cooled to 0°-5° C., and 7.0 g (0.13 mol) of sodium methoxide are added. The mixture is then stirred for a further 15 hours at room temperature, 1000 ml of water are then added to the mixture, the organic phase is separated off, and the aqueous phase is extracted with toluene. The combined organic phases are washed twice with plenty of water, then dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated by stripping off the solvent under reduced pressure. 19.3 g of a colorless oil which according to GC/MS analysis consists of 72% of 2-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethyl-ethyl]-2-ethyl-oxirane are obtained. Consequently, the yield is calculated at 65.3% of theory. The product is used for the further reaction without additional purification.

Preparation of Starting substances of the formula (VII): Example (VII-1) ##STR1102##

251.6 g (4.5 mol) of potassium hydroxide powder and 15 g of tetrabutylammonium bromide are initially introduced into 100ml of toluene. A solution of 180.5 9 (1.8 mol) of 2-methyl-3-pentanone in 500 ml of toluene is added dropwise with stirring, the temperature being kept below 20° C. A solution of 241.5 g (1.5 mol) of 4-chlorobenzyl chloride in 150 ml of toluene are then added dropwise with stirring and, during this, the temperature is again kept below 20° C. The mixture is then stirred for a further 15 hours at room temperature, the solids are filtered off in vacuo and rinsed with toluene, and the filtrate is evaporated by stripping off the solvent under reduced pressure. The residue is initially subjected to coarse distillation, resulting in 58 g of a product mixture of boiling point 75°-83° C. at 0.1 mbar. This product mixture is then subjected to precision distillation on a split-tube column under reduced pressure.

20.3 g of a colorless liquid which according to GC and NMR consists of 96% of 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-3-pentanone (b.p.21 mbar 156°-157° C.; 6% of theory) and 9.6 g of an also colorless liquid which according to GC and NMR consists of 96% of 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,4-dimethyl-3-pentanone (b.p.21 mbar 163°-165° C.; 2.8% of theory) are obtained.

33 g (0.21 mol) of hexylbromide are added dropwise to a suspension of 4.8 g (0.21 mol) of magnesium filings in 80 ml of absolute tetrahydrofuran. When the reaction is complete, a solution of 17.7 g (0.1 mol) of 2,2-dimethyl-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-propanoic acid nitrile in 150 ml of absolute toluene is added dropwise, and the reaction mixture is heated to boiling. Subsequently, sufficient tetrahydrofuran is allowed to distil so that a boiling point of 100° C. is reached, and the mixture is then refluxed for 15 hours. An aqueous ammonium chloride solution is added to the reaction mixture, the organic phase is separated off, and the aqueous phase is extracted twice using ether. The combined organic phases are stirred for 5 hours with 100 ml of 3N hydrochloric acid. After the aqueous phase has been separated off, the organic phase is washed twice using water, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure.

19 g (72% of theory) of 2,2-dimethyl-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-nonanone are obtained as a pale oil. ##STR1104##

A solution of 168 g (0.86 mol) of 2,2-dmethyl-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-propan-1-al-oxime in 400 ml of acetic anhydride is refluxed for 4 hours. The solution is then cooled, and the solvent is removed by stripping off under reduced pressure. The residue is diluted with 2 l of water, and the resulting solution is extracted three times using dichloromethane. The combined organic phases are washed once with water, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated by stripping off the solvent under reduced pressure.

150.2 g (98.7% of theory) of 2,2-dimethyl-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-propionitrile are obtained as a pale oil. ##STR1105##
